Sponsor a wish?

[tchart]

There are many B4X wishes that seem to get lost in the mists of time.

This got me thinking, would people be open to sponsoring these feature requests? Ive seen this work in the open source community where a user/company will pay for a feature to get developed.

Obviously this would depend on Erel but would people be supportive of this?

Agree, as with anything there needs to be

#1 Enough interest in the "wish"

Another software I use, has an "Ideas" page (similar to wishes) where users can upvote ideas more formally. Ideas with lots of upvotes get prioritised by the develoeprs.

What do you think about crowdfunding libraries?

Umm An Intregated IDE-RAD from B4X for Web Development (html & css editors, backend scripts editors , interactive debug cycle). I know it is a complex task for creating a full root stack tool but it is just a wish. I already read about Banano and ABW, but I love the power and simplicity of B4X tools.
